Hartmut, Another reason I received this is that there were duplicate files in the subversion directory which are share the same name and extension but in different letter case (e.g. CHANGES versus changes). Windows FS is case insensitive by default.
Regarding the problem of using long pathnames, you might want to use the subst cli tool to reduce the length of the path string. This and some other ideas are described in http://superuser.com/questions/37737/extend-maximum-file-path-size-in-windows-7.
